Zimbabwe vs New Zealand (ZIM vs NZ) 6th T20I Match Teams Preview
Zimbabwe Preview
Zimbabwe are expected to recall Blessing Muzarabani to the playing XI, replacing Trevor Gwandu, after the pace bowler missed the previous match due to a personal bereavement. The hosts have endured a disappointing campaign so far, suffering defeats in all three of their matches. They opened the tri-series with a five-wicket loss to South Africa, followed by consecutive defeats against New Zealand (by 8 wickets) and South Africa again (by 7 wickets). Heading into the upcoming fixture, Zimbabwe’s chances of securing a win remain slim.
Zimbabwe Probable Playing XI
Wessly Madhevere, Brian Bennett, Clive Madande(w), Sikandar Raza(c), Ryan Burl, Tony Munyonga, Tashinga Musekiwa, Tinotenda Maposa, Wellington Masakadza, Richard Ngarava, Trevor Gwandu
New Zealand Preview
New Zealand made two changes in their previous match against South Africa and are likely to recall Matt Henry and Bevon Jacobs to the playing XI for the final league game, replacing Zachary Foulkes and William O’Rourke.
The Blackcaps have dominated the tri-series so far, winning all three of their matches. With a spot already secured in the final against South Africa on Saturday, this match serves as a crucial warm-up for the visitors. Their consistent all-round performances have been key to their success, and they will aim to maintain that winning momentum.
New Zealand Probable Playing XI
Tim Seifert(w), Devon Conway, Rachin Ravindra, Daryl Mitchell, Mark Chapman, Michael Bracewell, Mitchell Santner(c), Zakary Foulkes, Adam Milne, Jacob Duffy, William O'Rourke
